“Ok that makes more sense but one she actually has familiars and two she’s got more than one!?” Asher exclaims.
“And why are they here, you forgot that fairly important question.” Ty adds.
“Yes and yes to the first two questions.” Dash starts to explain whilst I fuss over Ghost and Knot. “Although Nyx gave Ghost to her when he was sacrificed by the Director at the Earth realm academy.”
“By the way I still find it odd and strangely hilarious that the Fae and Demon worlds have such fancy names and the Earth realm one is just called Earth realm and all because the Director decades ago lost the true name in a bet!” I chuckle interrupting Dash’s explanation.
He rolls his eyes at me before continuing, I have brought it up regularly since learning about it so I can’t really blame him.
“Of course that makes total sense,” Asher replies sarcastically.
“I’m guessing that whatever Kysen just spoke to you guys about means that we’re going to be seeing Sage and the others really soon?” I say.
“Yeah actually.” Harry says. “They’ve located all of the missing Centre’s in the Cursed City.”
“Isn’t that the criminal city that we learnt about the other day. You know the ‘under no circumstances must you go there’ city?” Kyle asks his eyebrows hitting his hairline.
“That would be the one.” Ty replies lazily lounging back on the couch next to Cole. He is very much like his Jaguar supernatural side.
“Of course it is.” I reply, “So when are we rescuing them?” I get up excitedly.
“Now, they need us now and they want the Centre’s and their Bonded out by tonight.” Asher adds in.
“Sen has found a short cut that will cut our trip down to about fivehours, they set up camp an hour away from the Cursed City.”
“Ghost and Knot can lead us to them.” I say and then turn to Ty. “We are coming Ty before you start any psychic stuff.”
“You are but none of you tell him yet.” Ty says to his brothers, “I don’t know why but it’s important that none of them know you are with us or that you are coming.”
“Fair enough.” I reply deflating, I was fully prepared for an argument then.
“We need to tell him about Cole.” Harry says sounding anxious.
“I don’t think that’s a good idea, you know what Sen is like. Probably best to just let him meet Cole first.” Asher says.
Cole looks over Ty worriedly.
“Should I be worried?” He asks Ty, “you’ve told me all about him and I’m not confident that his reception to me being with all of you is going to be great. I don’t want to cause problems with you all.”
“It’ll be fine, Cole.” Ty says wrapping his fingers in his own and squeezing, they’re all so damn cute together. “Sen hasn’t had an ease life especially when it comes to love, so any sort of feelings make him a bit prickly.”
“Understatement.” Harry scoffs.
“He knows that we’re keeping something from him so he’s going to be on edge anyway.” Asher says sounding concerned.
“It won’t be for much longer.” I reason. “Remember what I said Cole it will all work out how it’s supposed to.”
“You’re starting to sound like me.” Ty smirks lazily.
“Well damn.” I smirk.
Everyone shares a look but thankfully chooses not to question us. And Cole shoots me a thankful look for reminding him what Sage saw.
“Ok so how’re we sneaking out, there’s no way that the Director is going to let us go.” Nate asks.
“We do need to tell them because they all need to be ready for the Centre’s and their Bonded, no one is certain what condition they’re going to be in, fortunately we have the building that we use when there’s a natural disaster or attack. Sen said to wait until we’ve got them out and then Harry needs to send a couple of us through in order to warn them before he sends the rest.” Asher explains.
“Are you up to that?” Dash asks, the two of them have grown close both enjoying the research opportunities here.
